Through a series of case studies, signal processing and statistical tools, analyses of dynamic sea ice processes of drift, deformation, and ice pack expansion and decay are investigated for the Weddell Sea region during 1992. Cavitating fluid (CAV)...

We present new forensic tools that are capable of detecting traces of tampering in digital images without the use of watermarks or specialized hardware. These tools operate under the assumption that images contain natural properties from a variety...

In this thesis we study 1=k-geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on any subinterval of length L=k, where L is the length of the geodesic. These curves arise as critical points of the uniform energy, a function introduced in Morse theory...

2-D and 3-D woven composites are becoming materials of choice for the forming of structural parts for an ever-increasing range of industries from infrastructure to aerospace. Research has shown that for a wide range of structural composites, in...

Fluorine forms the strongest single bond to carbon, however, it is well established that transition metals can lengthen and weaken C-F bonds in fluorinated ligands. Described here are studies on the activation of C-F bonds in iridium compounds...

Several ""health state classification systems"" are available to estimate health state values (HSV) for economic evaluation. Evidence of variation in estimates from different systems raises concern that system choice may affect study conclusions...
